The historic stories were fascinating, and we felt we learned so much! He was hilarious, too. The vessel itself was sturdy & clean, and I felt very safe. What a thoroughly enjoyable experience!

He worked closely with us to create a thoughtful transportation schedule and determine the best hotel pickup locations based on where our guests were staying. On the wedding day, everything ran perfectly. Our trolley driver was punctual and professional, transporting the wedding party for photos before bringing us to the venue, and then seamlessly picking up guests from the hotels and getting everyone where they needed to be on time. The trolley itself was absolutely adorable--such a fun and charming alternative to a standard bus. We loved getting a few photos in front of it, and riding in the trolley felt like the quintessential New England wedding experience.

But we planned to go to lunch afterwards, so I took a picture of the # to pay for parking using the parkmobile app. We arrived 9:40am for our 10am boat ride on a Sunday. There were maybe 8 parties waiting. We picked up our paper ticket. We didn't start boarding the boat until maybe 5 min before our sail time. They sell drinks and snacks on the boat. There's also garbage & recycle bins and toilets. I would recommend sitting outside. There's seating all around the boat. At the very front, there's lack of shade. We sat on the port side (left) of the boat. It was a bit chilly on the water. The captain pointed out sites of interest. You can't really hear him when you're inside. He also pointed out things on the port (left) and starboard (right), so you just end up moving around to see what he's talking about. Definitely bring an extra jacket and hat. The whole ride was maybe 1 hr 15 min by the time we returned to the dock.

From the famous Portland Head Lighthouse to off the beaten path locations that no tourist ever attended, he found spots to take gorgeous photos and videos. Although the weather on the day we visited was overcast, Norm even planned for those weather contingencies and had multiple locations ready for us to film from. He helped to structure the tour so that lighting was best for the specific shot. Prior to our tour, Norm had also location scouted a variety of different locations so that he could recommend specific spots from which to film rather than us wasting time looking for a spot to shoot from. Norm was also extremely hospitable and friendly and epitomized Maine hospitality. Norm and his company have the flexibility to cater the tour to your exact specifications: You want local only food places for foodies; you want a tour in Cantonese or Portuguese; You want a tour of all lighthouses -- nothing was a problem. Norm also took us to a local restaurant that had some of the best clam chowder in the east coast, and the absolute best lemon mascarpone cheesecake that I have ever tasted in my life. Thank you Norm.
